I just got back from taking the ferry from Ludington, MI across Lake Michigan to Manitowoc, WI, and I am so impressed with Ludington. Beautiful condos and vacation homes are going for a song there. It's a wonderful place for retirees or anyone. The populoation is about 21,000. I want to go back!

You've managed to write an article that provides a lot of information about house prices without providing the only piece of information that matters to a prospective home buyer--the price in dollars. I've bought three houses in my life and I've never signed a contract requiring me to pay "1.7 times the median income in the area". Nor have I signed a contract that said "purchaser will pay what the property was worth 8 years ago". Ditto for "one third of the peak value of the property". These things are typically priced in dollars.
